I’m so excited to share the before and after of our newly organized small closet! I know it’s a small project, but it was in desperate need of a little TLC.

I recently transformed this bathroom closet into a small closet makeover.

This closet was a catchall for all of our toiletries and random cleaning supplies. It was a real mess!

The only good thing about this closet is that it had a door and I could shut it to avoid seeing the mess.

To get started, I removed all of the music equipment and stored it in another closet that I recently cleaned out in our basement.

I found wire pull out bins are a perfect solution for narrow deep closets or cabinets where items easily get lost in the back.

I wasn’t sure if I would find a small enough pullout bin for our closet but Home Depot has a variety of pullout bin sizes which is nice.

Once I emptied the closet, I painted the walls and shelves with a fresh coat of white paint.

If you have removable shelves, the installation process of the wire pullout bins is a breeze. I simply put the shelf on our floor and in less then 5 minutes, I installed the pullout bin. So simple!

Once the bins were installed, I decided that the closet would be perfect for storing laundry supplies, paper towels and other cleaning supplies.

I used my new Swiffer SteamBoost, which I might add is a super rockstar, to clean the closet floor. It was pretty gross :(.

After a few hours of painting, cleaning and installing the pullout bins, the closet was complete!

If you are unsure how to install floating shelves, be sure to check out our DIY floating shelves tutorial that we did for our laundry room. We used the same cleat method for these shelves.

I absolutely love this closet now and the top shelf is perfect for items that are not used often and the pull out bins make it so much easier to access items in the back.

Organization is all about convenience in my opinion. By adding hooks inside and outside the closet, this gives you a place to store items easily without piling them on the floor.

We never really had a utility storage closet before so this works out perfectly for the step stool, mop bucket and other cleaning items.

Our small closet organization project proved to be well worth a few hours of my time. Not only do I love the closet now, but the door can stay open :).
